LNG carriers of increasing size have been built since then, leading to the fleet of today, where giant Q-Max LNG ships sail worldwide that can each carry up to 266,000 m 3 (9,400,000 cu ft). A boom in U.S. natural gas production was enabled by hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"), creating large growth in natural gas production from 2010. [ 2 ]

Compressed natural gas (CNG) carrier ships are those designed for transportation of natural gas under high pressure. [1] CNG carrier technology relies on high pressure, typically over 250 bar (2900 psi), to increase the density of the gas, but it is still 2.4 times less than that of LNG (426 kg/m 3). [2]
Freight rates for ships carrying liquefied natural gas have hit an all-time high of $397,500 a day as Europe snaps up alternatives to cut-off Russian flows.
